	🦇 3:24pm Phillippe: Hey Stanley, no mince pies but I did find some animal crackers!

	🦇 3:28pm Julie: hahaha
	🦇 3:29pm Handy Haversack: Julie! Dark Ones! Cramps!
	🦇 3:30pm Julie: hiya Handy!
	3:30pm Stanley: Handsome Handy!
	🦇 3:30pm chris in the redwoods: hey, Handy!
	🦇 3:31pm Bas NL: This 1981 is getting better by the minute. Hi Darkies!
	🦇 3:32pm Phillippe: @stanley likely just an American thing dfw.cbslocal.com...
	3:32pm dreamyandseedy: i have this very hazy memory of a song by the cramps but i can't remember where or when i heard it or even what song it was! but i know i liked it. have to dig into their discography and investigate
	🦇 3:32pm Phillippe: Handy! When did you get here?
	3:35pm Stanley: Thanks, Phillippe. I see the packet re-design 'keeps this brand modern and contemporary'
	🦇 3:36pm Handy Haversack: Just now. We were on a long walk, dropped poop off at the vet, had a beer outside one of the few remaining cheap bars in North Brooklyn, went to Earwax and bought a turntable -- from Fabio! -- and then back home. How's everyone?
	🦇 3:36pm Phillippe: Yeah. I kept trying figure out if it was a joke or not. They are tasty with a cuppa, though
	3:37pm Tinley Park Randy: I have a Senegal Parrot. Love it.
	🦇 3:38pm Phillippe: Nice, Handy, especially the dog poop delivery part! Which turntable did you get?
	🦇 3:38pm chris in the redwoods: out for a walk in the mist before rain is heavier. back in an hour-ish. i want to buy a turntable from Fabio. :)
	🦇 3:38pm Phillippe: sorry, cat poop...
	🦇 3:41pm B R M: Here for the ONJ, my son just got called back for his Middle School's production of XANADU, so we watched it with him last night and I was in TEARS watching his reaction 🤣
	🦇 3:42pm Julie: hiya Tinley! that screaming one is a caique
	🦇 3:42pm Bas NL: Bush! Such a great track this.
	🦇 3:43pm B R M: Did anyone buy the Kate box set reissues on vinyl? my old copies don't sound great, wondering if the new boxes are a better pressing?
	3:43pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Enjoying this show so much!
	🦇 3:43pm Julie: thanks Sweet Corn Lizzie!
	🦇 3:45pm Handy Haversack: It's a pretty simple Tecnhics. We finally gave up on resurrecting our dead turntable. And Fabio and Bagpipe have now met! And liked each other!
	🦇 3:46pm Julie: aww yay that's nice to hear
	3:47pm Stephen O: In 1981 I was 11. These sounds feel hard wired to my imagination. Hi Julie and everyone:)
	🦇 3:47pm Julie: hiya Stephen!
	🦇 3:48pm Phillippe: Excellent! I have a couple vintage (aka non-working) technics in the stereo equipment graveyard. Buying untested stereo equipment at thrift stores has its drawbacks...
	3:48pm Scott67: G'day Dejà Julie & Nighties! 😎🤙👣🐾🎶📻☀️🌏
	🦇 3:49pm Phillippe: scott!
	🦇 3:49pm Julie: hiya Scott!
	3:49pm Scott67: Mate, my Sister read dolly magazine!
	3:50pm Stanley: Bas. The moment has come when I crack open my Christmas treat Moersleutel. Prost. www.ratebeer.com...
	3:50pm HyperDose: 1981 party!
	3:51pm Scott67: G'day Phillippe! 👍😎🍵
	🦇 3:52pm Julie: Is that an Aussie magazine? just thought it looked cool
	🦇 3:52pm Bas NL: Lucky you Stanley! Let it go down well!
	3:54pm Scott67: It is Aussie as Julie! But defunct now I think? 👍😎
	🦇 3:54pm Bas NL: Gothdonna?
	🦇 3:54pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, proto-Madonna!
	🦇 3:55pm Handy Haversack: The wellspring!
	🦇 4:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oi ! ...Missed GunClub. Maybe a little TeardropExplodes this evening ??
	🦇 4:01pm Julie: hiya Rev! I think I must've played them on a prior 81 show?
	🦇 4:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh ! Probly.
	🦇 4:03pm Discotech Underground: Good afternoon, Julie and the rest of the dark souls!
	🦇 4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's good to be amongst anyone else who 'gets' JulianCope @ all...
	🦇 4:04pm Julie: yep played something from their 81 album in October. hiya Discotech!
	4:06pm Scott67: Love that hollow guitar!
	🦇 4:07pm Julie: is that what makes that sound?
	4:08pm Scott67: Dunno Julie? Just using word to describe how it sounds.
	🦇 4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo Birdie !
	🦇 4:14pm Bas NL: Love the 81 selection Julie!
	🦇 4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Something like when I got out of School. 40 Years. Terrifying.
	4:17pm Tome: !<>!OmD!<>!
	🦇 4:17pm Phillippe: Man, the Urban Verbs! And then OMD!
	4:25pm Scott67: Yep, year 8 at High School in 1981. But this music still sounds so fresh to me! Got locked into the good grey matter I guess. Before I started corrupting it. 👍😎🍻
	🦇 4:26pm Handy Haversack: Late lunch dealt with! Dog comfort established! Beer in hand! 1981 in ears! All seems pretty solid right now.
	4:27pm Scott67: Cheers Handy! Give Bagpipe a pat for me mate. 🍻😎🤙👣🐾🎶📻☀️🌏
	🦇 4:28pm Phillippe: Finally got my degree in '81 after bouncing in and out of college for 6 1/2 years
	🦇 4:28pm Handy Haversack: Done, Scotty! In 1981, my mom died in May, my oldest sister got married and my youngest sister graduated high school in June, and I turned seven in October.
	4:28pm Scott67: I think I'm getting a zit just listening! 😎🤙
	4:30pm Scott67: Jeez Handy, that's a hell of a year for a 7 year old to absorb.🌷
	🦇 4:31pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, some years suck. As we keep learning.
	🦇 4:32pm B R M: I love this Fripp
	4:32pm GG..: thanks for League of Gentlemen!! This record is one of my favourite Robert Fripp moments
	4:35pm Tony Coulter: w/ Danielle Dax on vocals!
	🦇 4:36pm xtrakrispy: I feel a Bush Tetras tune coming on. Cowboys or Funky??
	4:36pm Andrew Waterloo: hello
	🦇 4:37pm Julie: It was very Toyah like in my ears, really
	🦇 4:38pm Phillippe: Holy shit, Handy, that's awful! I can't imagine that kind of pain, losing a parent so young
	🦇 4:39pm Julie: Hey Andrew, Hi Xtra Hi GG!
	🦇 4:39pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Phillippe. Yeah. Maybe harder on my sisters, though, as they had a better sense of what was going on and what it all meant?
	4:40pm Tinley Park Randy: Awesome tunes. On 1981 I was in 8th grade. I was just discovering music like this on WNUR (89.9) in Evanston Illinois. When everyone in school was into the Urban Cowboy craze me and my buddy were listening to Crass and The Effigies.
	🦇 4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So Handy - you were entering Skool about when I was walking out of it... Glad you survived all that the fine fellow you are. 1981 - seemed people felt some new Musics were necessary, possible - even something to be enthusiastic about. @ the same time - Punk's initial explosion had begun to settle - & the Old Order failed to disappear despite its infirmities... Sounds familiar.
	4:41pm HyperDose: Thank you for sharing, Handy ❤️
	🦇 4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Crass in the 8th Grade ! Righteous.
	🦇 4:43pm Phillippe: My family would've dissolved into dust if my mom had passed that early. My dad had mental health issues and would not have survived, no doubt in my mind.
	🦇 4:43pm Handy Haversack: Right, Rev Rab -- my youngest sister was also born in fall '63! Also, have you had the bandwidth to check your e-mail? A missive awaits!
	🦇 4:43pm Discotech Underground: I was a high school sophomore in 1981. At that time I mostly listened to old 60's music or metal like Ozzy, Iron Maiden or Sabbath who had Dio singing for them at the time. I didn't like the top 40 stuff and underground stuff was hard to come by where I grew up.
	🦇 4:44pm Phillippe: (probably crumbled, not dissolved -- mixed metaphors are my specialty)
	4:48pm Scott67: Livvie!
	4:48pm Andrew Hollywood: In 1981, I was negative two years old.
	🦇 4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy - bandwidth stretched to a bare thread this moment... I never check my e-mail - considered a chore in the best circumstances - so Thank You for the persistence & kind indulgence ! So your sister is a Water Hare like me...
	4:48pm SeanG: hey rev rab did you seen that jason elbogen is on the main stream right now :-D
	🦇 4:49pm Handy Haversack: My dad was in his midsixties and suddenly had to be the main parent. It was a blow. He had a heart condition and throughout my life with him always had angina, but he never described it as pain, more as being "ill at ease." Over the years, I have come to suspect that he was actually depressed and was having panic attacks and should have been talking to an analyst, not a cardiologist about it. But it was the eighties. But we spiraled. He was waiting tables and then had health conditions that forced him to cut way back on work. We sort of lived like wolves. But I got very lucky with school and some other stuff. And here we are! No problem, Rev Rab, it'll be there when you have a chance. Obviously, you can ignore all the e-mails that aren't from me!
	4:49pm Tinley Park Randy: @revolution. Big A Little A on a realistic cassette player at recess. Swear to God. Had a Residents tape confiscated from me by a teacher too. Lol.
	4:52pm Andres: Hi, Julie! Hey, all! In ‘81 I finally (maybe?) had an alarm clock radio in my room for tuning into the local AM top 40. I knew none of the playlist here except for Whip It which all my friends had on 45.
	🦇 4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Big A Little A Bouncing B the System gotcher Residents - but not you & me
	🦇 4:54pm Bas NL: Now THAT's an album title!
	4:56pm Tinley Park Randy: @Rev. It was a copy of the album Nibbles that I bought on import at a local record store.
	4:57pm wow!: Amazing, Madonna ska! Never heard this before.
	🦇 4:58pm Handy Haversack: K8's been on Olivia Newton-John's website and Wiki page ever since you played the song ... we're now big Chloe fans.
	🦇 4:59pm Julie: hiya Andres!
	🦇 5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SeanG - yeah I was catching some JasonE earlier ! Good to hear. Wish I could listen to everything @ once...
	🦇 5:03pm Phillippe: @Handy, kind of a similar situation. My dad had anxiety and depression; he could no longer work while I was still in high school and was collecting a very modest disability check. No idea how we managed to stay afloat. He also had the heart issues, had his first heart attack when I was in the first grade. He toughed it out until he was 83 though.
	5:03pm javakid: great choice - any early MTV memory
	5:08pm ike-o: peace and greetings from couch lock
	🦇 5:12pm Julie: hiya javakid, hey Ike-o!
	🦇 5:13pm chris in the redwoods: back. missed much, but lovely walk. :)
	🦇 5:18pm Phillippe: Any available turntables on the walk, chris, Fabio-provided or not?
	🦇 5:20pm Bas NL: Live radio... :D
	5:21pm Tome: peat and repeat <>
	🦇 5:21pm Phillippe: I'm still afraid of the Russians...
	🦇 5:21pm Yvang: Nuclear winter was coming
	🦇 5:22pm Julie: russian govt yeah but I know some very nice russian people.
	5:22pm Rich in Washington: This and most of The Spires back catalog has just been reissued, including their pre-Spires group Bates Motel.
	🦇 5:22pm chris in the redwoods: sadly, no, Phillippe. yeah, i remember when the Soviets invaded Colorado. see the great documentary, Red Dawn..
	🦇 5:22pm Yvang: China is the new USSR
	5:24pm Andres: Conversation sparked here as to whether there is any complimentary pronunciation for the seventh planet.
	🦇 5:25pm Phillippe: My mom's recent scamming had Russian origins. Spyware and malware on her computer and router were all Russian
	🦇 5:26pm Julie: good to know Rich. Russia is where all the cool dolls are made these days
	🦇 5:27pm Phillippe: I just rewatched Russian Doll -- Season 2 is on the way allegedly!
	🦇 5:28pm Julie: oh such a great show!
	5:28pm Tony Coulter: Renaissance goes new wave! Had never heard this phase of theirs.
	🦇 5:28pm Julie: this renaissance just cracks me up
	5:29pm Booz: Wouldn't Season 2 be almost exactly like Season 1 (with one or two differences)?
	🦇 5:29pm Handy Haversack: In former Soviet Union, Russia invades you! Wait, no, that's not right.
	🦇 5:30pm Phillippe: @Booz my bride and I were wondering where they could take it as well. Looking forward to it, however
	🦇 5:30pm Julie: hiya Booz!
	5:31pm WR: Taking work break, catching up with the playlist, Baby Buddha recent reissue of Music for Teenage Sex / Sects on bandcamp, baby-buddha.bandcamp.com
	🦇 5:33pm xtrakrispy: Ha!
	🦇 5:34pm Handy Haversack: Was hoping you were still here, xtrakrispy!
	🦇 5:35pm Julie: i don't know why i don't have a drum I gave to drummer stream too (POUT)
	🦇 5:36pm Phillippe: Time for me to go make some magic with leftovers and spread my joy amongst the family members. Thanks Julie! Bye everyone! Peace and love, y'all!
	5:36pm Rich in Washington: This album was my introduction to The Fall
	🦇 5:36pm xtrakrispy: I’m always here Handy. Just quiet these days. Not much to say, and pretty busy selling booze all day. Folks be drinking up a storm!
	5:36pm David Dichelle: Hey Julie and everyone!
	🦇 5:37pm Julie: bye Phillippe, enjoy!
	🦇 5:37pm Bas NL: Bye Phillippe!
	5:37pm Tony Coulter: @ Julie: My drum disappeared too! Maybe our checks bounced.
	🦇 5:37pm Julie: heya David!
	🦇 5:37pm Handy Haversack: Later. Phillippe! Folks are smart like that, xtrakrispy!
	5:37pm dreamyandseedy: i will confess i wasn't yet born in 1981. but now i'm intensely curious what my little east texas hometown was like in '81 and how the kids accessed "alternative" music. maybe i could get my hands on a yearbook from back then
	5:37pm Stanley: See you Phillippe.
	5:37pm Tony Coulter: And now ... the drum is back!?!
	🦇 5:38pm Julie: Tony your drum is red
	🦇 5:38pm Bas NL: Hi David! Ready for the late night shift?
	🦇 5:38pm Julie: I kinda hate the damn pumpkin..after october it is like WHY??
	🦇 5:38pm Handy Haversack: Julie, did you give to your show? It would show up on the shows you gave to specifically, as I understand things.
	5:38pm johnk77: great work the gleaming spires track is also on the soundtrack of last american virgin spires/sparks/bates kybdist jim goodwin was a good guy who was also in the call
	🦇 5:38pm Julie: oh yeah David, doing late late late
	🦇 5:39pm Julie: oh no I did not, maybe that is why
	5:39pm Stanley: Leipzig checking in, I see. Hi David.
	🦇 5:39pm Julie: thanks johnk!
	5:40pm JayD: Really loving your show today! Thank you for the music.
	5:40pm Tony Coulter: I didn't give to my own show, yet I (now) have a drum. Someone stole Julie's drum!
	🦇 5:40pm Julie: glad you're enjoying it, JayD!
	🦇 5:40pm Julie: Tony but you're on my board, not yours...
	5:40pm WR: Julie, the drum only shows up on shows on the drummer stream that you credited your donation toward (assuming they didn't make some other image to be used). You probably didn't credit your donation to your own show.
	5:41pm lunarleigh: When i was around 8 years old in mid-70’s i hid candy in my room in case the Russians invaded!! HA! My husband went to a Jesuit high school in St Louis and learned Russian- in 1984 his Russian club went the Soviet Union. He was also on the Rifle team. Hmmm…he’s still waiting for ‘the call’. If the Russian’s invade, we’re in Brooklyn if you need a hideout! With candy!
	5:41pm Tony Coulter: @ WR: Aha! That's it! I did pledge to Julie, so....
	5:42pm lunarleigh: Ps Julie - LOVIN your show!
	5:42pm David Dichelle: Yes, going late today! Just getting things ready over here...
	🦇 5:42pm Handy Haversack: Hey, David! Around the world in 1981 days!
	5:43pm Tony Coulter: Love this Wow Federation track!
	🦇 5:44pm Bas NL: Early funky!
	🦇 5:45pm Julie: thanks Lunar, this isn't entirely representative of the usual but I always have a few new wave things up my sleeve!
	🦇 5:45pm Julie: that cover image is freaking me out
	5:46pm Rich in Washington: I wasn't frightened of Russians when I was a teen in '81, but rather our batshit crazy president, esp. after hearing a Joe Cuomo radio show from WBAI on my local Pacifica station called Second Coming. In it, Cuomo built this case that Reagan was so brainwashed by xtian evangelicals that he was going to start armageddon with a first strike against the Soviet Union.
	5:47pm Andres: A few years later I gave the FM dial a spin. The DJ was playing Radio Ga Ga, decided he liked it and so gave both sides of the album a spin. It was hard to go back to top 40 after that.
	🦇 5:47pm Julie: gee Rich that sounds familiar
	5:47pm Rich in Washington: but then, as Jack Handey would say, I had some growin' up to do...
	5:48pm Andres: +1 Rich in Washington. It was Reagan and Thatcher that gave me nightmares.
	5:49pm Rich in Washington: My personal razor, when dealing with conspiratorial thinking, both globally and in my personal life: "They're too stupid to actually pull off the thing I'm paranoid they're going to to".
	5:49pm Rich in Washington: after Hanlon's Razor
	5:50pm Tony Coulter: The defense industry always needs an enemy, real or not.
	🦇 5:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and roaring forties!
	🦇 5:51pm chris in the redwoods: hey, David D! belated greetings and strong agreement with your last post, Tony C!
	5:53pm David Dichelle: 1-4!
	🦇 5:54pm chris in the redwoods: i'll go brew a fresh pot o' joe, for ya, David D.
	🦇 5:54pm Yvang: This will be dark night of the subway soul!
	5:54pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Chris!
	5:54pm David Dichelle: Thanks!
	🦇 5:56pm Yvang: @David : I am not sure I will make it till 4 but I will try by time zone solidarity!
	5:57pm doctorjazz: Hi Julie!
	🦇 5:57pm Julie: hiya Dr Jazz!
	5:58pm doctorjazz: Hi David D!
	5:58pm David Dichelle: Yvang: Glad to have you there as long as you are still enjoying it!
	5:58pm David Dichelle: Hey Dr. J.!
	5:58pm Andres: I would like to have heard Nancy with this arrangement. I think it would’ve worked.
	5:58pm David Dichelle: Loving this cover, by the way!
	🦇 5:59pm Julie: I just love a freaky cover
	6:00pm David Dichelle: Oh hey, Stanley, Bas, and Handy uplist - sorry if I missed anyone else...
	🦇 6:02pm chris in the redwoods: hey, dr. jazz! how're folks in the homestead doing today?
	6:04pm lunarleigh: Julie, I am a listener of your show but not a chatter…love your program. And sorry to hear about your bird…I empathize and also have had a less than relaxing holiday- one of our cats had his hind leg amputated last week… your show is cheering me up!
	🦇 6:05pm Julie: I'm so glad it's helping, and thank you for saying hello!
	🦇 6:07pm Julie: poor kitty!
	6:11pm dreamyandseedy: i am super into the it's my party picture!
	🦇 6:12pm Julie: right? It's crazy
	🦇 6:12pm Bas NL: "Shit, shit, we are all shit."
	🦇 6:14pm Julie: I had a feeling that's what was going on in that song
	6:15pm Andres: Wow! Not one hit wonders!
	🦇 6:15pm Bas NL: Very much of the period. :)
	6:18pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: First of all, my sympathies and virtual cuddles to the pets who are poorly now, and, hello all.
	🦇 6:19pm Julie: hiya Cha Cha!
	🦇 6:20pm Handy Haversack: Sympathy and solidarity, lunarleigh. From the whole brood over here. Hey there, Cha Cha.
	6:21pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Re Circus Mort, I was rather surprised to find a live clip from youtube, I never knew any live video existed, I thought it was a short-lived project.Anyway it's probably not something Michael Gira was/is that fond of. Good evening Handy!
	6:23pm g00berz: Hi!
	6:23pm g00berz: Oh dang kinda the endish of the show oops
	6:27pm g00berz: Anything but the Old Codger!
	🦇 6:29pm Julie: LOL gee thanks
	6:32pm Andres: Beatniks still making the scene in ‘81? ;)
	🦇 6:36pm Julie: so it would seem!
	6:37pm Andres: Sounds to me a New Order vibe with Silent Scream.
	6:37pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: That My Captains track was a nice surprise! Never heard of them, even if it is early 4AD. 13th Chime was so nice too, though I hate missing their gig a few years ago...
	🦇 6:38pm Bas NL: Yes! And a great sounding demo.
	🦇 6:38pm Handy Haversack: I keep thinking the riff is going to turn into "Atomic."
	🦇 6:38pm Julie: yes I hear that too!
	6:39pm Booz: Enjoying this show in tandem with my wife, who has to quarantine, but we're together because of 1981, so there COVID.
	🦇 6:40pm Julie: that's the attitude, Booz!
	🦇 6:40pm Handy Haversack: In your face, COVID!
	6:43pm lunarleigh: Handy & brood -Thank you !!!
	6:45pm lunarleigh: And virtual Hug to you Cha Cha ;) thank you
	6:50pm David Dichelle: Join me next for three hours of music from around the world of 1981! wfmu.org...
	6:50pm Andres: Great fun, Julie! Thank you!
	6:52pm Andrew Hollywood: thx Julie 👽🖤👽
	6:52pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @6:45 lunarleigh: hang in there, it's always stressful and sad when a feline friend is going through some rough times.

	🦇 3:36pm Handy Haversack: Just now. We were on a long walk, dropped poop off at the vet, had a beer outside one of the few remaining cheap bars in North Brooklyn, went to Earwax and bought a turntable -- from Fabio! -- and then back home. How's everyone?

	🦇 3:47pm Julie: hiya Stephen!

	🦇 4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo Birdie !
	🦇 4:14pm Bas NL: Love the 81 selection Julie!
	🦇 4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Something like when I got out of School. 40 Years. Terrifying.
	4:17pm Tome: !<>!OmD!<>!
	🦇 4:17pm Phillippe: Man, the Urban Verbs! And then OMD!
	4:25pm Scott67: Yep, year 8 at High School in 1981. But this music still sounds so fresh to me! Got locked into the good grey matter I guess. Before I started corrupting it. 👍😎🍻
	🦇 4:26pm Handy Haversack: Late lunch dealt with! Dog comfort established! Beer in hand! 1981 in ears! All seems pretty solid right now.
	4:27pm Scott67: Cheers Handy! Give Bagpipe a pat for me mate. 🍻😎🤙👣🐾🎶📻☀️🌏
	🦇 4:28pm Phillippe: Finally got my degree in '81 after bouncing in and out of college for 6 1/2 years
	🦇 4:28pm Handy Haversack: Done, Scotty! In 1981, my mom died in May, my oldest sister got married and my youngest sister graduated high school in June, and I turned seven in October.
	4:28pm Scott67: I think I'm getting a zit just listening! 😎🤙
	4:30pm Scott67: Jeez Handy, that's a hell of a year for a 7 year old to absorb.🌷
	🦇 4:31pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, some years suck. As we keep learning.
	🦇 4:32pm B R M: I love this Fripp
	4:32pm GG..: thanks for League of Gentlemen!! This record is one of my favourite Robert Fripp moments
	4:35pm Tony Coulter: w/ Danielle Dax on vocals!
	🦇 4:36pm xtrakrispy: I feel a Bush Tetras tune coming on. Cowboys or Funky??
	4:36pm Andrew Waterloo: hello
	🦇 4:37pm Julie: It was very Toyah like in my ears, really
	🦇 4:38pm Phillippe: Holy shit, Handy, that's awful! I can't imagine that kind of pain, losing a parent so young
	🦇 4:39pm Julie: Hey Andrew, Hi Xtra Hi GG!
	🦇 4:39pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Phillippe. Yeah. Maybe harder on my sisters, though, as they had a better sense of what was going on and what it all meant?
	4:40pm Tinley Park Randy: Awesome tunes. On 1981 I was in 8th grade. I was just discovering music like this on WNUR (89.9) in Evanston Illinois. When everyone in school was into the Urban Cowboy craze me and my buddy were listening to Crass and The Effigies.
	🦇 4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So Handy - you were entering Skool about when I was walking out of it... Glad you survived all that the fine fellow you are. 1981 - seemed people felt some new Musics were necessary, possible - even something to be enthusiastic about. @ the same time - Punk's initial explosion had begun to settle - & the Old Order failed to disappear despite its infirmities... Sounds familiar.
	4:41pm HyperDose: Thank you for sharing, Handy ❤️
	🦇 4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Crass in the 8th Grade ! Righteous.
	🦇 4:43pm Phillippe: My family would've dissolved into dust if my mom had passed that early. My dad had mental health issues and would not have survived, no doubt in my mind.
	🦇 4:43pm Handy Haversack: Right, Rev Rab -- my youngest sister was also born in fall '63! Also, have you had the bandwidth to check your e-mail? A missive awaits!
	🦇 4:43pm Discotech Underground: I was a high school sophomore in 1981. At that time I mostly listened to old 60's music or metal like Ozzy, Iron Maiden or Sabbath who had Dio singing for them at the time. I didn't like the top 40 stuff and underground stuff was hard to come by where I grew up.
	🦇 4:44pm Phillippe: (probably crumbled, not dissolved -- mixed metaphors are my specialty)
	4:48pm Scott67: Livvie!
	4:48pm Andrew Hollywood: In 1981, I was negative two years old.
	🦇 4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy - bandwidth stretched to a bare thread this moment... I never check my e-mail - considered a chore in the best circumstances - so Thank You for the persistence & kind indulgence ! So your sister is a Water Hare like me...
	4:48pm SeanG: hey rev rab did you seen that jason elbogen is on the main stream right now :-D
	🦇 4:49pm Handy Haversack: My dad was in his midsixties and suddenly had to be the main parent. It was a blow. He had a heart condition and throughout my life with him always had angina, but he never described it as pain, more as being "ill at ease." Over the years, I have come to suspect that he was actually depressed and was having panic attacks and should have been talking to an analyst, not a cardiologist about it. But it was the eighties. But we spiraled. He was waiting tables and then had health conditions that forced him to cut way back on work. We sort of lived like wolves. But I got very lucky with school and some other stuff. And here we are! No problem, Rev Rab, it'll be there when you have a chance. Obviously, you can ignore all the e-mails that aren't from me!
	4:49pm Tinley Park Randy: @revolution. Big A Little A on a realistic cassette player at recess. Swear to God. Had a Residents tape confiscated from me by a teacher too. Lol.
	4:52pm Andres: Hi, Julie! Hey, all! In ‘81 I finally (maybe?) had an alarm clock radio in my room for tuning into the local AM top 40. I knew none of the playlist here except for Whip It which all my friends had on 45.
	🦇 4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Big A Little A Bouncing B the System gotcher Residents - but not you & me
	🦇 4:54pm Bas NL: Now THAT's an album title!
	4:56pm Tinley Park Randy: @Rev. It was a copy of the album Nibbles that I bought on import at a local record store.
	4:57pm wow!: Amazing, Madonna ska! Never heard this before.
	🦇 4:58pm Handy Haversack: K8's been on Olivia Newton-John's website and Wiki page ever since you played the song ... we're now big Chloe fans.
	🦇 4:59pm Julie: hiya Andres!
	🦇 5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SeanG - yeah I was catching some JasonE earlier ! Good to hear. Wish I could listen to everything @ once...
	🦇 5:03pm Phillippe: @Handy, kind of a similar situation. My dad had anxiety and depression; he could no longer work while I was still in high school and was collecting a very modest disability check. No idea how we managed to stay afloat. He also had the heart issues, had his first heart attack when I was in the first grade. He toughed it out until he was 83 though.
	5:03pm javakid: great choice - any early MTV memory
	5:08pm ike-o: peace and greetings from couch lock
	🦇 5:12pm Julie: hiya javakid, hey Ike-o!
	🦇 5:13pm chris in the redwoods: back. missed much, but lovely walk. :)
	🦇 5:18pm Phillippe: Any available turntables on the walk, chris, Fabio-provided or not?
	🦇 5:20pm Bas NL: Live radio... :D
	5:21pm Tome: peat and repeat <>
	🦇 5:21pm Phillippe: I'm still afraid of the Russians...
	🦇 5:21pm Yvang: Nuclear winter was coming
	🦇 5:22pm Julie: russian govt yeah but I know some very nice russian people.
	5:22pm Rich in Washington: This and most of The Spires back catalog has just been reissued, including their pre-Spires group Bates Motel.
	🦇 5:22pm chris in the redwoods: sadly, no, Phillippe. yeah, i remember when the Soviets invaded Colorado. see the great documentary, Red Dawn..
	🦇 5:22pm Yvang: China is the new USSR
	5:24pm Andres: Conversation sparked here as to whether there is any complimentary pronunciation for the seventh planet.
	🦇 5:25pm Phillippe: My mom's recent scamming had Russian origins. Spyware and malware on her computer and router were all Russian
	🦇 5:26pm Julie: good to know Rich. Russia is where all the cool dolls are made these days
	🦇 5:27pm Phillippe: I just rewatched Russian Doll -- Season 2 is on the way allegedly!
	🦇 5:28pm Julie: oh such a great show!
	5:28pm Tony Coulter: Renaissance goes new wave! Had never heard this phase of theirs.
	🦇 5:28pm Julie: this renaissance just cracks me up
	5:29pm Booz: Wouldn't Season 2 be almost exactly like Season 1 (with one or two differences)?
	🦇 5:29pm Handy Haversack: In former Soviet Union, Russia invades you! Wait, no, that's not right.
	🦇 5:30pm Phillippe: @Booz my bride and I were wondering where they could take it as well. Looking forward to it, however
	🦇 5:30pm Julie: hiya Booz!
	5:31pm WR: Taking work break, catching up with the playlist, Baby Buddha recent reissue of Music for Teenage Sex / Sects on bandcamp, baby-buddha.bandcamp.com
	🦇 5:33pm xtrakrispy: Ha!
	🦇 5:34pm Handy Haversack: Was hoping you were still here, xtrakrispy!
	🦇 5:35pm Julie: i don't know why i don't have a drum I gave to drummer stream too (POUT)
	🦇 5:36pm Phillippe: Time for me to go make some magic with leftovers and spread my joy amongst the family members. Thanks Julie! Bye everyone! Peace and love, y'all!
	5:36pm Rich in Washington: This album was my introduction to The Fall
	🦇 5:36pm xtrakrispy: I’m always here Handy. Just quiet these days. Not much to say, and pretty busy selling booze all day. Folks be drinking up a storm!
	5:36pm David Dichelle: Hey Julie and everyone!
	🦇 5:37pm Julie: bye Phillippe, enjoy!
	🦇 5:37pm Bas NL: Bye Phillippe!
	5:37pm Tony Coulter: @ Julie: My drum disappeared too! Maybe our checks bounced.
	🦇 5:37pm Julie: heya David!
	🦇 5:37pm Handy Haversack: Later. Phillippe! Folks are smart like that, xtrakrispy!
	5:37pm dreamyandseedy: i will confess i wasn't yet born in 1981. but now i'm intensely curious what my little east texas hometown was like in '81 and how the kids accessed "alternative" music. maybe i could get my hands on a yearbook from back then
	5:37pm Stanley: See you Phillippe.
	5:37pm Tony Coulter: And now ... the drum is back!?!
	🦇 5:38pm Julie: Tony your drum is red
	🦇 5:38pm Bas NL: Hi David! Ready for the late night shift?
	🦇 5:38pm Julie: I kinda hate the damn pumpkin..after october it is like WHY??
	🦇 5:38pm Handy Haversack: Julie, did you give to your show? It would show up on the shows you gave to specifically, as I understand things.
	5:38pm johnk77: great work the gleaming spires track is also on the soundtrack of last american virgin spires/sparks/bates kybdist jim goodwin was a good guy who was also in the call
	🦇 5:38pm Julie: oh yeah David, doing late late late
	🦇 5:39pm Julie: oh no I did not, maybe that is why
	5:39pm Stanley: Leipzig checking in, I see. Hi David.
	🦇 5:39pm Julie: thanks johnk!
	5:40pm JayD: Really loving your show today! Thank you for the music.
	5:40pm Tony Coulter: I didn't give to my own show, yet I (now) have a drum. Someone stole Julie's drum!
	🦇 5:40pm Julie: glad you're enjoying it, JayD!
	🦇 5:40pm Julie: Tony but you're on my board, not yours...
	5:40pm WR: Julie, the drum only shows up on shows on the drummer stream that you credited your donation toward (assuming they didn't make some other image to be used). You probably didn't credit your donation to your own show.
	5:41pm lunarleigh: When i was around 8 years old in mid-70’s i hid candy in my room in case the Russians invaded!! HA! My husband went to a Jesuit high school in St Louis and learned Russian- in 1984 his Russian club went the Soviet Union. He was also on the Rifle team. Hmmm…he’s still waiting for ‘the call’. If the Russian’s invade, we’re in Brooklyn if you need a hideout! With candy!
	5:41pm Tony Coulter: @ WR: Aha! That's it! I did pledge to Julie, so....
	5:42pm lunarleigh: Ps Julie - LOVIN your show!
	5:42pm David Dichelle: Yes, going late today! Just getting things ready over here...
	🦇 5:42pm Handy Haversack: Hey, David! Around the world in 1981 days!
	5:43pm Tony Coulter: Love this Wow Federation track!
	🦇 5:44pm Bas NL: Early funky!
	🦇 5:45pm Julie: thanks Lunar, this isn't entirely representative of the usual but I always have a few new wave things up my sleeve!
	🦇 5:45pm Julie: that cover image is freaking me out
	5:46pm Rich in Washington: I wasn't frightened of Russians when I was a teen in '81, but rather our batshit crazy president, esp. after hearing a Joe Cuomo radio show from WBAI on my local Pacifica station called Second Coming. In it, Cuomo built this case that Reagan was so brainwashed by xtian evangelicals that he was going to start armageddon with a first strike against the Soviet Union.
	5:47pm Andres: A few years later I gave the FM dial a spin. The DJ was playing Radio Ga Ga, decided he liked it and so gave both sides of the album a spin. It was hard to go back to top 40 after that.
	🦇 5:47pm Julie: gee Rich that sounds familiar
	5:47pm Rich in Washington: but then, as Jack Handey would say, I had some growin' up to do...
	5:48pm Andres: +1 Rich in Washington. It was Reagan and Thatcher that gave me nightmares.
	5:49pm Rich in Washington: My personal razor, when dealing with conspiratorial thinking, both globally and in my personal life: "They're too stupid to actually pull off the thing I'm paranoid they're going to to".
	5:49pm Rich in Washington: after Hanlon's Razor
	5:50pm Tony Coulter: The defense industry always needs an enemy, real or not.
	🦇 5:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and roaring forties!
	🦇 5:51pm chris in the redwoods: hey, David D! belated greetings and strong agreement with your last post, Tony C!
	5:53pm David Dichelle: 1-4!
	🦇 5:54pm chris in the redwoods: i'll go brew a fresh pot o' joe, for ya, David D.
	🦇 5:54pm Yvang: This will be dark night of the subway soul!
	5:54pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Chris!
	5:54pm David Dichelle: Thanks!
	🦇 5:56pm Yvang: @David : I am not sure I will make it till 4 but I will try by time zone solidarity!
	5:57pm doctorjazz: Hi Julie!
	🦇 5:57pm Julie: hiya Dr Jazz!
	5:58pm doctorjazz: Hi David D!
	5:58pm David Dichelle: Yvang: Glad to have you there as long as you are still enjoying it!
	5:58pm David Dichelle: Hey Dr. J.!
	5:58pm Andres: I would like to have heard Nancy with this arrangement. I think it would’ve worked.
	5:58pm David Dichelle: Loving this cover, by the way!
	🦇 5:59pm Julie: I just love a freaky cover
	6:00pm David Dichelle: Oh hey, Stanley, Bas, and Handy uplist - sorry if I missed anyone else...

	🦇 6:07pm Julie: poor kitty!
	6:11pm dreamyandseedy: i am super into the it's my party picture!
	🦇 6:12pm Julie: right? It's crazy
	🦇 6:12pm Bas NL: "Shit, shit, we are all shit."
	🦇 6:14pm Julie: I had a feeling that's what was going on in that song
	6:15pm Andres: Wow! Not one hit wonders!
	🦇 6:15pm Bas NL: Very much of the period. :)
	6:18pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: First of all, my sympathies and virtual cuddles to the pets who are poorly now, and, hello all.
	🦇 6:19pm Julie: hiya Cha Cha!
	🦇 6:20pm Handy Haversack: Sympathy and solidarity, lunarleigh. From the whole brood over here. Hey there, Cha Cha.
	6:21pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Re Circus Mort, I was rather surprised to find a live clip from youtube, I never knew any live video existed, I thought it was a short-lived project.Anyway it's probably not something Michael Gira was/is that fond of. Good evening Handy!
	6:23pm g00berz: Hi!

	6:37pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: That My Captains track was a nice surprise! Never heard of them, even if it is early 4AD. 13th Chime was so nice too, though I hate missing their gig a few years ago...
	🦇 6:38pm Bas NL: Yes! And a great sounding demo.
	🦇 6:38pm Handy Haversack: I keep thinking the riff is going to turn into "Atomic."
	🦇 6:38pm Julie: yes I hear that too!
	6:39pm Booz: Enjoying this show in tandem with my wife, who has to quarantine, but we're together because of 1981, so there COVID.
	🦇 6:40pm Julie: that's the attitude, Booz!
	🦇 6:40pm Handy Haversack: In your face, COVID!

	🦇 6:55pm Julie: I had this record too, only Styx I ever had
	🦇 6:56pm B R M: PS- if you only watch one episode of VH1's BEHIND tHE MUSIC, make it Styx, you will NOT be disappointed.
	6:56pm rw: Now we’re talking’
	6:56pm Booz: My laser-etched vinyl Styx is laser-etched on my heart
	🦇 6:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Julie. Now where did I put my Members Only jacket?
